Vessel Traffic Through Strait of Hormuz Rises to 50 Ships in 24 Hours

MarineTraffic data recorded at least 50 vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours. Thirty-nine of those ships followed the U.S.-recommended traffic separation scheme through Omani waters.

The actual number of crossings is likely higher because some vessels continue to transit with AIS transponders switched off. Before the conflict, daily averages exceeded 130 vessels.

Iranian announcements have sought to regulate passage through the strait. Traffic nevertheless shows signs of gradual recovery. >"Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is starting to pick up again." — Writer Daniyal, recent post
